Thermal radiation — is electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of an object which is due to the object s temperature. Infrared radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the light emitted by a… … Wikipedia
Thermal degradation of polymers — is molecular deterioration as a result of overheating. At high temperatures the components of the long chain backbone of the polymer can begin to separate (molecular scission) and react with one another to change the properties of the polymer.… … Wikipedia
Thermal physics — is the combined study of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and kinetic theory. This umbrella subject is typically designed for physics students and functions to provide a general introduction to each of three core heat related subjects.… … Wikipedia
Thermal pollution — is a temperature change in natural bodies of water caused by human influence. The temperature change can be upwards or downwards. In the Northern Hemisphere, a common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant, especially in… … Wikipedia
Thermal conduction — In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient. Conduction means collisional and diffusive transfer of kinetic energy of particles of ponderable … Wikipedia
Thermal Emission Imaging System — The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) is a camera on board the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. It images Mars in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to determine the thermal properties of the surface and to… … Wikipedia
Thermal copper pillar bump — The Thermal Copper Pillar Bump, also known as the thermal bump , is a thermoelectric device made from thin film thermoelectric material embedded in flip chip interconnects (in particular copper pillar solder bumps) for use in electronics and… … Wikipedia
